Abstract:
A small percentage of an individual's earnings are reported to SSA without a social security number (SSN) or with an incorrect name or SSN. SSA must write to the individual or to the employer asking for correction of the missing or incorrect information. These forms have been designed by SSA to meet this requirement. The respondents are self-employed individuals, employees, or an employee's employer, in situations where SSA is unable to identify the individual based on the information submitted.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
No
Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The decrease in burden stems from SSAs temporary suspension of Form SSA-L4002, Request for Employer Information. Additionally, the burden hours for Forms SSA-3365 and SSA-2765 have decreased. The decrease in these forms indicates that employees and self-employed individuals are reporting their names and SSNs correctly, or employers are verifying SSNs prior to reporting. In addition, we intend to conduct a one-time study using these notices, which will temporarily increase the burden (see Addendum).
